JavaScript - Adding A Fade Effect To A Slideshow
Hello all! This is my first time in the forum and I have been reading for a while. The information in here appears to be very accurate and useful. I am new to JavaScript. I have been programming sites for a while but have been using Flash for most of my animation and never really got into the ActionScript. Thanks to Apple... I can no longer use that crutch. So as I post in this forum please understand 2 things: 1 I am a beginner in JavaScript and 2. I want to learn not just copy, paste and move on!
Here is my issue: I have made a VERY SIMPLE slide show and it works perfectly. However, Now I want to add a fade in and out effect to the code. I have seen this done with the CSS opacity(alpha) and that seems to be the simplist way. However, I am having trouble fitting this into my code. Any direction in this matter would be great! Thanks so much! Code: var step=1 function switchImg() { if (!document.images) return document.images.slide.src=eval("image"+step+".src") if (step<9) step++ else step=1 setTimeout("switchImg()",3500) } switchImg() Similar TutorialsHello - I'm trying to add a fade effect between slideshow transitions. The script I'm building from is the Rich HTML Slideshow script which appears below. The slides that rotate are wrapped in <div> tags with a class of "dyncontent" and I've managed to make the slideshow transition just fine, but not with any kind of fade effect. It just "snaps" from one slide to the next. Is this a fairly simple addition? Thanks! <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.all || document.getElementById){ //if IE4 or NS6+ document.write('<style type="text/css">\n') document.write('.dyncontent{display: none; width: 250px; height: 60px;}\n') document.write('</style>') } var curcontentindex=0 var messages=new Array() function getElementByClass(classname){ var inc=0 var alltags=document.all? document.all : document.getElementsByTagName("*") for (i=0; i<alltags.length; i++){ if (alltags[i].className==classname) messages[inc++]=alltags[i] } } function rotatecontent(){ //get current message index (to show it): curcontentindex=(curcontentindex<messages.length-1)? curcontentindex+1 : 0 //get previous message index (to hide it): prevcontentindex=(curcontentindex==0)? messages.length-1 : curcontentindex-1 messages[prevcontentindex].style.display="none" //hide previous message messages[curcontentindex].style.display="block" //show current message } window.onload=function(){ if (document.all || document.getElementById){ getElementByClass("dyncontent") setInterval("rotatecontent()", 2000) } } </script> PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var image1=new Image() image1.src="images/slideshow/image001.jpg" var image2=new Image() image2.src="images/slideshow/image002.jpg" var image3=new Image() image3.src="images/slideshow/image003.jpg" var image4=new Image() image4.src="images/slideshow/image004.jpg" var image5=new Image() image5.src="images/slideshow/image005.jpg" var image6=new Image() image6.src="images/slideshow/image006.jpg" var image7=new Image() image7.src="images/slideshow/image007.jpg" var image8=new Image() image8.src="images/slideshow/image008.jpg" var image9=new Image() image9.src="images/slideshow/image009.jpg" var image10=new Image() image10.src="images/slideshow/image010.jpg" var image11=new Image() image11.src="images/slideshow/image011.jpg" var image12=new Image() image12.src="images/slideshow/image012.jpg" var image13=new Image() image13.src="images/slideshow/image013.jpg" var image14=new Image() image14.src="images/slideshow/image014.jpg" var image15=new Image() image15.src="images/slideshow/image015.jpg" var image16=new Image() image16.src="images/slideshow/image016.jpg" var image17=new Image() image17.src="images/slideshow/image017.jpg" var image18=new Image() image18.src="images/slideshow/image018.jpg" var image19=new Image() image19.src="images/slideshow/image019.jpg" var image20=new Image() image20.src="images/slideshow/image020.jpg" //--> </script> </head> <body> <img src="images/slideshow/image001.jpg" name="slide"> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- //variable that will increment through the images var step=1 function slideit(){ //if browser does not support the image object, exit. if (!document.images) return document.images.slide.src=eval("image"+step+".src" ) if (step<20) step++ else step=1 //call function "slideit()" every 2.5 seconds setTimeout("slideit()",2500) } slideit() //--> </script> </body> </html> http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatut...rnalphp2.shtml Anyone have a decent way of adding a fade affect to this script?

(code is below, original source: http://javascript.internet.com/misce...lide-show.html The slide show cross-fade effect in this script works in IE, but not in FF. I know there are better scripts I could use, but I like this one because of its simplicity (doesn't require any accompanying CSS, etc). But I need it to work in all browsers.

This is my first post at CodingForums! I'm currently designing a wordpress theme, and I require a bit of javascript for a hover effect. I'm using Wordpress Jquery + Jquery Color Animations plugin. The structu I use a div (class="post") as a container for the wordpress post, and within the "post" div, I have a span (class="title") which I use to display the title of the post. What I want to do is: when the user hovers over (OnMouseOver) "post" div: ".title" spans's background color fades from black to red. when the user hovers out (OnMouserOut) "post" div: ".title" spans's background color fades back to black. The Code Code: $j(document).ready(function(){ $j(".posts").hover(function(){ $j (".posts .title").animate({ backgroundColor: "#FF0062" }, 300); },function(){ $j(".posts .title").animate({ backgroundColor: "#231F20" }, 300); }); }); The Problem The code works, except when the user hovers over any "post" div, all "title" span change color. So my question is, how do I target the code to address ONLY the "title" span in the "post" div that is in hover state? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cheers, Drew. Hello good coders! Thanks to the wonderful script provided by coothead he http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=87036 I was wondering how I could adjust the transition/fade speed between the images in the script? I tried a couple of different ways, but I couldn't get it working. Does anyone know how I can adjust this in a cross-browser compatible way?

Long time reader, first time poster. I have a personal website, currently in development, located at: http://www.jesselang.ca If you click the right-facing arrows along the right side you'll open a side-bar column, clicking a left-facing arrow will then close the side-bar. This functionality is "OK" at best. What I would like to see is clicking the right-facing arrow causes the current sidebar to fade-in, and simultaneously have the arrow flip to a left-facing icon; the idea being to add a toggle function to the arrows. The code I'm using at the moment is shown below, this string works for me because it only allows 1 sidebar container to be displayed at a time... which is ideal. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> lastone='empty'; function showIt(lyr) {if (lastone!='empty') lastone.style.display='none'; lastone=document.getElementById(lyr); lastone.style.display='block';} </script> The respective html looks something like this: Code: <a onclick="javascript:showIt('interestcontainer')" class="arrow"><span>show interests sidebar</span></a> The coresponding html for the container to display looks like this. This code also shows the "hide container" button: Code: <div id="interestcontainer" style='display:none;'> <h4>interests<a onclick="interestcontainer.style.display='none';" class="back"><span>back</span></a></h4> And the CSS looks like this: Code: a.arrow{ display:block; float:right; background:url(../images/ico-arrow.gif) top no-repeat; text-decoration:none; overflow:hidden; width:13px; height:11px; margin-left:3px;} ------------------ Would it be asking to much to have someone help me achieve the following functionality? -load page with all side containers hidden -display only 1 side container at a time -fadein and fadeout effects -same button displays and hides -button swaps images for displat/hide commands Again, my code can be seen at: http://www.jesselang.ca http://jesselang.ca/files/style.css I'd very much appreciate the help.

I have another unpublished template that iv bought (that doesnt quite work at all, module position all messed up etc) but it does this hover effect perfectly on the menu. So i have the .js file from that template and iv read some tutorials on how to add a js file to my template but its just not doing anything. Is it a good idea to try to add this file from a different template to my template or is there a easier way to do this (what i think is a) simple effect. Thanks. ps i can post the js code if wanted I have been trying to develop a script that creates a slideshow that adds hyperlinks to the images. I'm a beginner at Javascript, so I've made a bastardisation of 3 different scripts I've found that, by my reckoning, should work. This is the slideshow code: Code: window.onload = initAll; var gallery_url = new Array('<a href="http://www.optionstradingaustralia.com.au" target=_blank>', '<a href="http://home.iprimus.com.au/thebyrnes5/splats/index.html">') var thisUrl = 0; var gallery = new Array("portfolio_ota.jpg", "portfolio_bashbrothers.jpg"); var thisImage = 0; var gallery_title = new Array("Options Trading Australia Website", "The Bash Brothers Website"); var thisTitle = 0; var gallery_number = new Array("1", "2"); var thisNumber = 0; function initAll() { document.getElementById("previous").onclick = processPrevious; document.getElementById("next").onclick = processNext; } function processPrevious () { if (thisUrl == 0) { thisUrl = gallery_url.length; } thisImage--; document.getElementById("view_portfolio").src = gallery_url[thisUrl]+'<img src="'+thisImage+'"></a>'; document.getElementById("portfolio_title").innerHTML = gallery_title[thisUrl]; document.getElementById("portfolio_number").innerHTML = gallery_number[thisUrl]; return false; } function processNext () { thisImage++; if (thisUrl == gallery_url.length) { thisUrl = 0; } document.getElementById("view_portfolio").src = gallery_url[thisUrl]+'<img src="'+thisImage+'"></a>'; document.getElementById("portfolio_title").innerHTML = gallery_title[thisUrl]; document.getElementById("portfolio_number").innerHTML = gallery_number[thisUrl]; return false; } I know that for the most part, this script works. It was only when I tried to add the component that involved adding a hyperlink that it broke. The bit of code in the HTML that it directly affects is <div id="view_portfolio"> </div> Does anyone know why the javascript doesn't work? I have a feeling it's because I haven't applied the id tag in the HTML properly, but I don't know what exactly is wrong about it. I am hoping someone here can shed some light on the situation! The gallery I have made so far is at http://www.clarebyrnedesign.com.au/portfolio.html, except that at the moment, the images don't show. I've attached the javascript & html code. Thanks! Hey guys. I am using a javascript slideshow called fadeshow. (Main code below). I am wondering if there is a way to have thumbnail support, so I could allow the users to click on a thumbnail and have fadeshow go to that photo in the array. I have gotten a next / previous button working but also would like to add thumbnails. How would I write an a href link to specify an image in the array? Can this be done? Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var mygallery2=new fadeSlideShow({ wrapperid: "fadeshow2", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow dimensions: [1000, 665], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image imagearray: [ ["images/1m.jpg"], ["images/2m.jpg"], ["images/3m.jpg"] ], displaymode: {type:'manual', pause:2500, cycles:0, wraparound:true}, persist: false, //remember last viewed slide and recall within same session? fadeduration: 500, //transition duration (milliseconds) descreveal: "always", togglerid: "fadeshow2toggler" }) </script> <div id="fadeshow2toggler"> <a href="#" class="next"><div id="fadeshow2"></div></a><!--allows clicking the photo for next--> <a href="#" class="prev">Previous</a> <a href="#" class="next">Next Image</a> ( <span class="status"></span> )</span> </div><!--end fadeshow2toggler--> <!--thumbnails i would like to work--> <a href= # ><img src="images/thumbnail1.jpg"></a> <a href= # ><img src="images/thumbnail2.jpg"></a> <a href= # ><img src="images/thumbnail3.jpg"></a> Any advice appreciated! I'm trying to add next and previous buttons to this slideshow done in jQuery. I've gotten stuck trying to figure it out with no progress. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanks. Here's the code: Code: $(document).ready(function(){ /* This code is executed after the DOM has been completely loaded */ var totWidth=0; var positions = new Array(); $('#slides .slide').each(function(i){ /* Traverse through all the slides and store their accumulative widths in totWidth */ positions[i]= totWidth; totWidth += $(this).width(); /* The positions array contains each slide's commulutative offset from the left part of the container */ if(!$(this).width()) { alert("Please, fill in width & height for all your images!"); return false; } }); $('#slides').width(totWidth); /* Change the cotnainer div's width to the exact width of all the slides combined */ $('#menu ul li a').click(function(e,keepScroll){ /* On a thumbnail click */ $('li.menuItem').removeClass('act').addClass('inact'); $(this).parent().addClass('act'); var pos = $(this).parent().prevAll('.menuItem').length; $('#slides').stop().animate({marginLeft:-positions[pos]+'px'},450); /* Start the sliding animation */ e.preventDefault(); /* Prevent the default action of the link */ // Stopping the auto-advance if an icon has been clicked: if(!keepScroll) clearInterval(itvl); }); $('#menu ul li.menuItem:first').addClass('act').siblings().addClass('inact'); /* On page load, mark the first thumbnail as active */ /***** * * Enabling auto-advance. * ****/ var current=1; function autoAdvance() { if(current==-1) return false; $('#menu ul li a').eq(current%$('#menu ul li a').length).trigger('click',[true]); // [true] will be passed as the keepScroll parameter of the click function on line 28 current++; } // The number of seconds that the slider will auto-advance in: var changeEvery = 7; var itvl = setInterval(function(){autoAdvance()},changeEvery*1000); /* End of customizations */ }); Hello coding world, After hours of searching the net I found this awesome slideshow. Check it out: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/01/...comment-409563 I really do like this slideshow but I am having problems adding a caption to each image. I am hoping to have the caption located under the image and slide in with each image. Can anyone help me out? Please. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Alan |
